Data control at Volvo Cars

Volvo Car Corporation (a Swedish legal entity with corporate registration number 556074-3089) is the Data Controller for research and development of new and current car models, and also for certain global services offered to customers. Furthermore, Volvo Car Corporation is Data Controller for handling Personal data processed for monitoring the quality of the cars and any potential safety recalls as well as to meet regulatory requirements.

Each national sales company within Volvo Cars is generally responsible for marketing, sales and customer relations as well as market specific services in its market. The national sales company is Data Controller for the Processing of Personal data taking place for these purposes. In markets without a national sales company, an importer usually has the same responsibility as a national sales company. Therefore, the importer is the Data Controller in these instances. Volvo Cars contractually requires its dealers and repairers to comply with rules concerning data protection. Please note, that Volvo Cars and its authorised dealers and repairers are separate legal entities and that we are generally not responsible if such dealers and repairers do not follow applicable laws. If you have questions regarding your dealer's or repairer's use of your Personal data, please contact the dealer or repairer directly.

PRINCIPLES OF DATA PROCESSING

The Processing of your Personal data forms an important part of our provision of products and services to you. We appreciate the trust you place in us when providing us with your Personal data, and consider your privacy an essential part of the services we offer. In order to safeguard your Personal data while increasing the customer value and offering enhanced and safer driving experiences, we adhere to the following five general principles.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Your Personal data belongs to you. We strive not to make any assumptions regarding your privacy preferences and aim to design our services so that you can choose whether or not to share your Personal data with us.

BALANCE OF INTERESTS

Where the Processing of your Personal data is necessary for the pursuit of a legitimate interest, and where this interest outweighs the need to protect your privacy, we may process certain Personal data without obtaining your express consent if so permitted by law. In certain other situations, we may also process your Personal data without your consent if so required in accordance with applicable law. For more information, see the "Consent" section below. Where your Personal data is processed for the public interest, we base that on the potential benefits to (including the safety of) our customers and the general public.

PROPORTIONALITY

Volvo Cars will only process its customers' Personal data if it is adequate, relevant and necessary in relation to the purpose for which it has been gathered. We aim to anonymize your Personal data when a function or service can be achieved with anonymized data. If we combine anonymized or non-Personal data with your Personal data, it will be treated as Personal data for as long as it remains combined.

TRANSPARENCY AND SECURITY

Volvo Cars believes in being transparent about which Personal data we process and for which purposes. To us it is also vital to protect your Personal data since one of Volvo Cars' core values is to protect what is important to you. On request, Volvo Cars will provide customers with further information regarding our Processing and protection of your Personal data.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE

It is Volvo Cars' policy to comply with the applicable laws, rules and regulations governing privacy and data protection in each and every country where we operate. Where necessary, we will adjust our Processing of your Personal data as described in this policy to ensure legal compliance.

The Personal data which Volvo Cars collects about you and the vehicle will be used:

To provide you with products and services, including to verify your eligibility for certain purchases and services as well as to offer you enhanced offers and experiences;

To inform you of updates to, or changes in, our products and services, including but not limited to changes to our terms and conditions and policies;

For product development purposes, for example to improve vehicle performance, quality and safety;

To evaluate and improve our offering to, and communication with customers;

To comply with legal requirements or lawful authority requests;

To inform you about our products and services and identify those that may be of interest to you;

To carry out market research; and

For analysis and customer profiling purposes (online and social included) done by ourselves and our chosen suppliers.

You may provide us with information about you or your vehicle when utilising Volvo Cars' services in or outside a vehicle or in other contacts with Volvo Cars, for example through our websites or customer centres (in this context, please note that phone calls may be recorded, with your consent, for quality assurance purposes). We may also obtain such data from our authorised dealers and repairers and other third parties. Such data ("Customer-provided personal data") may include:

Your vehicle will also automatically collect data relating to the vehicle and its surroundings, primarily of a technical nature and not directly related to you as a person. Such data ("Vehicle-recorded data") is typically connected to the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle and may therefore be traceable to you. Vehicle-recorded data may include:

Safety information (whether airbags or belt tensioners have been triggered, whether the doors and windows are locked or open, etc.);

Location data (the position of the vehicle in case of an accident, etc.); and

Surroundings data (temperature outside the vehicle, images, etc.).

Information about certain Vehicle-recorded data is also included in the Owner's Manual.

We are particularly careful and apply additional measures if and when collecting and Processing Sensitive Personal data, as required by applicable law. For avoidance of doubt, it is noted that applicable law may require other kind of data to also be treated as Sensitive Personal data.
